Abstract: Legal authority for this data collection is found in Public Law 116-315, Sec. 5402-"Study of Barriers for Women Veterans to Receipt of Health Care from Department of Veterans Affairs," which requires VA to conduct an independent comprehensive study of the barriers to the provision of health care for women Veterans.
